Milk concentration is a vital process in the dairy industry, which is crucial for extending product shelf life, reducing costs, and producing high-value products. Traditional thermal evaporation methods have drawbacks such as nutrient loss and high energy consumption, while membrane technology has become a preferred alternative due to its low energy consumption, high separation efficiency, and excellent nutrient retention. This paper elaborates on the role of membrane technology in milk concentration, focusing on the application of three core membrane technologies (ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and nanofiltration), and analyzes their advantages in nutrient retention, product quality improvement, and green production.
